It is important to have quite a few different kinds of investments (such as stocks, bonds, and real estate) in an investment portfolio, in order to protect against loss. If one is only concerned with diversification of stocks, however, then it is imperative to have a variety of stocks. In order to be diverse, one should include stocks from different industries, from companies of varying sizes, and possibly even from companies in different countries.

How does a portfolio with 2 stocks decrease if both stocks are increasing?

The value of a portfolio may decrease when the stocks are increasing in price if the portfolio owner is making bets that the stocks will decrease in price.

This essentially means you borrow the stock and then immediately sell it, in the hope that the stock will decrease in value so you can buy it back at the lower price (the opposite of buying a stock and hoping for an increase in value).
